' Application filed August '21,"1925. Serial No. 51,654.

Our present invention relates generally to. edible containers and more particularly to edible containers in the matter of ice cream cones', our object being the provision of sim- 5 ple and inexpensive means wherebysuch containers may be rendered more desirable to the taste and may be made to conform to the 'Figurel is a perspective view of our corn-` plete cone. Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section therethrough. I

Figure 3 is a transverse section, and 'Figure 4 is an enlarged vertical longitudinal sectionthrough the upper open end of the- .25 cone.

Referring no wto these figures, our invention proposes an ice cream cone having generally the shape and form of those at present used, and which iS .provided with double walls and 11 forming a space l2 between for the full extent of thev walls, to receive a filling of sweetened cream, icing or other confection.

rl`he walls-'10 and 11 of the cone may formed of any suitable material as,.for instance, the `sweetened batter now employed for this purpose, and the outer wall maybe formed precisely asis the usual cone. The inner wall 10 will be preferably formed the inner wall 10 from lcontact with the outer around its upper open end with an outstand-A wall at any point below these upper edges.

In the abovel manneran ample space l2 remains between the'walls to receive the confection filling andv it is obvious'tlaat in practice the filling may be introduced in any 5o suitablemanner as by injection in the same Way cream puffs and similar confections are filled. Moreover, ,the iavor and character Y. of this filling may be vared'to such an extent as to conform to the iavoringand character of the ice cream to ybe placed within the cone, as well as thefindividual'tastes of consumers..

Our invention adds but little to the cost ofthe .ordinary/ice cream cone and at the same time is such as to render the same y highlyV desirablefor the purposes and reasons above stated. f

l. An ice Cream cone having inner and outer .walls of #edible baked material, the 65,

inner wall being provided at its-upper open end with an outstanding annular flange, 'saidflange of 'the inner wall engaging the upper edge of the outer wall and' servingto support the walls in spaced apart relation, and a confection filling in the, said spacebetween-the walls said flange closing the space between the walls and protecting the confection filling.

2..An ice cream cone having inner and outer walls of edible' material, the inner wall being provided around its (extreme upper open end with an outstanding annular flange adapted to engage the upper edge of the outer wall when the walls a, e in spaced apart relation, and a confection lling in the space between the walls, the said flange 'closing the said space between the walls and protecting the confection filling and being curved to strengthen the same andround ofi;1 the edge 85 of the cone around its larger end, whereby to minimize danger of breakage.
